I have a set of command buttons inside a Form widget, which is 
in turn inside a Vpane widget, as follows:

	+---------------------------------------+
	|					|
	|	      Text Widget		|
	|					|
	+-------------------------------------o-+
	| +-----+  +-----+  +-----+  +-----+    |
	| |     |  |     |  |     |  |     |    |
	| +-----+  +-----+  +-----+  +-----+    |
	| +-----+  +-----+			|  
	| |     |  |     |     Form Widget	|
	| +-----+  +-----+			|
	+-------------------------------------o-+
	|					|
	|	      Text Widget		|
	|					|
	+---------------------------------------+

Is it possible to :
  a) disable any resize of the Form widget when the user uses the Grip 
     to change the size of both text widgets
while at the same time 
  b) allow the Form widget to resize to its optimum size when the user 
     resizes the entire Vpane widget (for example, making it bigger so 
     that all buttons are on one row) ?

If I use XtPanedSetMinMax(), I cannot get (b).
If I use XtPanedAllowResize(), I cannot get (a).

Any ideas ?
Thank you!
